Abstract

While the economy is improving, too many working families are not earning enough to cover their basic expenses. Among the most effective federal policies to fight poverty among working families are the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and the Child Tax Credit (CTC). This fact sheet provides state-specific information about the impact of the EITC and CTC in your state.
